Day
Ten - 23 miles, 500 feet ascent
Richmond to Ingleby Cross
This is
a day I'd just as soon forget. It was long. It was flat.
It was boring. The greatest danger posed by the entire Coast
to Coast Path is crossing the A19 highway at Ingleby Cross. And
by then, your feet are too sore to run.
Problem is, much of the 23-mile day
is spent on roads. It's tough work for the feet. Friends told
me to take lighter shoes. I didn't listen. I got blisters. There's
a bus. I didn't take it.
The highlight of the day is stopping
for lunch at the White Swan, a pub in Danby Wiske where walkers
sign a book and have a pint of bitters and a good chicken sandwich.
